Cobb's Wren is a small, highly localized wren species endemic to the Falkland Islands. It is a ground-dwelling bird often found in association with tussac grass.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), particularly on small, offshore islets where it inhabits dense tussac grass and other coastal vegetation.
How to spot
Requires visiting the specific tussac grass habitats on the Falkland Islands. Look for a small, plain wren foraging actively on the ground and in dense grass, often difficult to see due to its skulking nature.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during the active periods of early morning and late afternoon.

Named after Arthur F. Cobb, this wren is unique for its almost entirely flightless existence, preferring to hop and scramble through dense vegetation.
